The challenge and the glory of the new ceretto releases
When does a wine masterclass feel like a tale of two halves? When you loop in the 2024 vintage Ceretto Piemonte red wines with some of the stellar 2021 and 2022 releases.

So it was when I rocked up to day six of this Grand Jours de Bourgogne adventure, walking into another tonnellerie (the Tonnellerie Damy if you're playing Google Maps spotto at home) with icy breath and jacket buttoned right up. It didn't hurt the wines, though. I don't think anything can. The post Enter the Meursault megastars appeared first on Australian Wine and Drinks Review .
